Chapter 303: Brilliant

The battlefield was quiet, with gunfire, noise, and shouts of killing instantly disappearing without a trace, as if there had never been any war, and there was a terrible silence everywhere.

The occasional cold gunshots that broke through this silence would not alarm the exhausted soldiers.

Some soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, and some soldiers fell asleep while pillowing on their bodies. Even if a shell suddenly exploded beside them, they would never wake them up.

Du Peng's eyes were filled with blood. He sat on the ground smoking a cigarette in big mouthfuls, and the cigarette butts were already covered with a large circle on the soles of his feet.

There was no joy of victory, the expression on his face was so numb, and there was no feeling of smoking in his mouth, but he threw away a cigarette butt, and quickly pulled out another piece of ignite it, which was completely a subconscious action.

Chen Long sat next to him, and his legs were slightly injured. He tied the bandage and then removed it, and it seemed that if he didn't do this, he didn't know what he should do.

The gunshots in the distance suddenly became fierce again, but this did not affect anyone here.

I guess I am surrounding and annihilated some enemies who are fighting stubbornly again.

Every officer and soldier here knows that the war has temporarily ended for them...

"Chief Zheng, commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, is here!"

With this sound, the officers quickly stood up.

Zheng Yong's face was extremely grim and his pace was very fast. The adjutants and staff members around him looked excited and nervous, as if they were looking forward to something, but they seemed to be unable to believe that this was true.

"Where are people?"

When he walked to Du Peng and Chen Long, Zheng Yong asked straight to the point without a word of greeting.

Du Peng waved his hand, and soon the two soldiers carried a pair of stretchers. The person on the stretcher seemed to be dead and covered with a piece of shabby bed sheet.

Zheng Yong, who had always been calm in front of his subordinates, his hands that reached out to the bed sheet were trembling a little.

Jiang Baili was right next to him, and almost all the officers could hear his heavy breathing.

The bed sheet was pulled open, and a body of an island military officer appeared in front of Zheng Yong and the others.

Lieutenant General Nakajima, the 16th Division of the Island Army!

"We don't have to commit suicide."

When Zheng Yong put down the sheets again, he let out a long sigh, with a look of relief on his face.

"I have never been so nervous, never. I was afraid that he would run away, not be able to kill him or capture him alive. But now I am not afraid anymore. Tonight I think I can have a safe sleep..."

It was possible to see that the young commander-in-chief was trying his best to control his excitement, and he tried to speak in a steady tone.

"To the Commission, the Ministry of Military Affairs and Government generated power and issued a power to the whole country. On April 20, 20th, the Battle of Changsu ended. In this battle, all the troops of our army fought bravely, fought one after another, fought bloody battles with the enemy all day long, overcame huge difficulties, suffered heavy casualties, and wiped out the elite 16th Division of the Island Army and the Guoqi Detachment.

It has been found out that Major General Kōzaki Tok, the commander of the Kōzaki Detachment of the Island Army, was captured, Lieutenant General Nakajima Imao, the commander of the 16th Division, was shot dead, and the 16th Division no longer exists...

Long live the National Government!!! Long live the War of Resistance! Long live the Chinese nation!!!”

After he finished pronunciating the last word, the battlefield that was still silent just now suddenly burst out with earth-shaking cheers.

Cheers floated over the battlefield and never dispersed for a long time.

The Battle of Changsu officially kicked off on January 30, 2018, and the battle was basically over on April 20, which lasted nearly three months.

In order to win this decisive battle, the third war zone commanded by Zheng Yong was deployed in front and behind, and the troops deployed on the front battlefield alone reached more than 100,000 troops from twelve divisions.

As the 16th Division of the A-level Division of the Island National Army, the Sino-Japanese War expanded to 25,000 people and nearly 10,000 people in the Guoqi Detachment.

In this decisive battle, the Chinese army killed a total of 33,000 troops from the division commander of Lieutenant General Nakajima Imao, and captured Major General Kōzaki Detachment commander Major General Kōzaki Detachment.

This is the most brilliant victory achieved by the Chinese army since the war between China and Japan, and it has created a miracle again. This is the first time that the Chinese army has completely wiped out a division and an elite detachment of the Island National Army!

And what price did the Chinese army pay for such victory?

More than 60,000 outstanding Chinese soldiers sprinkled blood on the battlefield, and they left their lives here forever.

More than 20,000 Chinese soldiers were seriously disabled. Many of them were not only unable to return to the battlefield, but also unable to take care of themselves.

There were countless soldiers injured, and the entrances of various field hospitals, from the beginning of the war to the present, are densely filled with wounded people.

This is a complete victory for life, with countless outstanding Chinese soldiers...

Those people who helped bury the bodies lifted up the bodies of their soldiers with tiredness, helped them clean up the bodies with tears, and said goodbye to them with tears...

Many of these fallen soldiers have just joined the army. Some have just learned to fire guns before going to the battlefield, but now they are no longer required to use guns.

They were tired, very tired, they all fell asleep...

Many of these fallen soldiers were veterans who had participated in the Battle of Shanghai and even the Northeast Defense War, but they finally left their lives on the battlefield.

They are tired, very tired, they really should need a rest...

Those familiar or strange faces kept flashing in front of Zheng Yong. He tried his best to control himself, fearing that tears would flow down without obedience.

A man doesn't cry easily, but he hasn't arrived at the sad place...

Only then can Zheng Yong truly understand the meaning of this sentence.

But this victory is of great significance.

In addition to the first time that the Chinese army completely wiped out a division and a detachment of the Island Army, it also seriously disrupted the deployment of the Island Army, which caused a heavy blow to the confidence and morale of the Island Army.

With the 16th Division and the Guoqi Detachment being completely wiped out, the attack pace of the island troops on the battlefields on each front suddenly slowed down. They began to re-examine and adjust the deployment.

China also got a breather and gained the greatest time for the next war of resistance.

At the same time, due to this unprecedented victory, the Chinese military and civilians' confidence in winning the War of Resistance to the end and the War of Resistance has been unprecedentedly improved.

Zheng Yong! It’s Zheng Yong again!

That undefeated "God of War" Zheng Yong!

He will never fail, and any war will only end with two words for him.

victory!

From one victory to another, from one glory to another!

As long as the war he commands, it will always make people feel relieved and even make the people feel this way. This young general was born for the words victory and miracles.

The people will not care about how huge the price China has paid behind the victory. They only know that we have won, we have won, and tens of thousands of people in the island country have died. All this is enough for them.

We won! It's that simple.

A large number of Chinese and foreign journalists flocked here, rushing to interview this almost miraculous victory.

They could not see the blood or the corpses. They saw the same eyes as the people, and they only had the legendary Chinese general.

Zheng Yong did not accept any interviews, he had something more important than being interviewed.

Brom and his German advisory group are leaving, and they have received orders from Germany.

This will happen sooner or later, but I didn’t have too much mental preparation before.

Hitler, who was in charge of the German regime, was not a politician who could only clamor for empty talk. After he came to power, he quickly rebuilt the German order.

In addition, he had foresight, allowing the working class at the bottom of society to enjoy the benefits that were not available in the past, so the Germans' support for Hitler increased significantly.

The political situation within the German Empire was already stable, and the Nazis began to focus on diplomacy and took multiple risky actions.

On March 16, 1935, Hitler announced that the German army would reorganize its military equipment and implement a conscription system, thus breaking through the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles.

Austria and the Sudetenlands of Czechoslovakia were incorporated into the Third Reich, and the rest of the Czech Republic were occupied by Germany soon after, and part of Slovakia was independent under Germany's protection. The rest of Czechoslovakia was divided up.

In 1936, Germany and Japan agreed on the Anti-Communist International Agreement, forming the "Berlin-Tokyo Axis".

Under the continuous pressure from the island government, in order to safeguard the interests of allies, Germany began to withdraw its military advisory group from China in batches and stopped its military aid to China.
